Big Finish Doctor Who/YMMV

• Archive Panic: Pretty daunting when combined with that of the main series, especially now that it's beginning to eclipse the original in runtime.
• Awesome Music: See Doctor Who/Awesome Music.
• Base Breaker: Charley, companion of the Eighth Doctor, seems rather divisive among the fans. Some see her as a brave and adventurous foil to the Doctor, while others have the same problem with her that they do with Rose: that she and the Doctor were subject to a Romantic Plot Tumor.
  • There are also some who find her to be both, Depending on the Writer.
• Funny Moments: Have their own page.
• Heartwarming Moments: See Doctor Who/Heartwarming.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "Brotherhood of the Daleks": "MERCY! MERCY!" Flash-forward to the end of new Who series 5...
  • A big Chekhov's Gun in The Natural History of Fear is a spinning top that Charley kept tapes of the Doctor's memories in. Fast to Inception, and what's Dom's totem?
• Magnificent Bastard: Michael Jayston's Sixth Doctor.
• Nightmare Fuel: See Doctor Who/Nightmare Fuel.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: The Sixth Doctor's tenure on TV is poorly regarded, to say nothing of companions like Mel and Peri. Big Finish has caused most of the fans who listen to do a complete 180 on their opinions.
• The Woobie:
  • Bad things seem to always happen to Hex. Evelyn Smythe knew this the minute she met him. Ace emphatically points out "No one upsets our Hexie and gets away with it."
  • Scorpion King Adric just wants somebody (preferably Nyssa) to love him (and also revenge on the Doctor for leaving him to die. But also love).
  • And his spiritual successor Thomas Brewster just wants his mum back.
  • The Doctor himself, for that matter, no matter what his incarnation. The Big Finish writers seem to like tormenting him almost as much as the TV writers.
